When ???

Question

Did you guys put your babies foward facing (how many months) and where did you seat them in the vehicle? (Middle le side doors)

Answer

Months?? 😬
My oldest is nearly 3 YEARS and still rear facing, and he will be for a while (as long as he is under the height and weight limits for rear facing in his convertible car seat) 
It’s proven that rear facing is 5 times safer for children under 4. Just watch a crash test video of forward facing vs. rear facing and it will
Become pretty clear why you want to keep them rear facing as long as possible.

Answer

The EARLIEST a child should be forward facing is 4 years, unless you want to risk your child becoming more seriously hurt/killed in a crash. Where you out them in a car depends on your car. My sons seat requires bottom tether so so we put him behind the passenger seat (so his seat is properly fitted and also the driver has plenty room if needed). We don't drive ourselves, we only use his seat in taxis and friends/familys cars.

Answer

Prob not until four years.

Answer

Two years?

Answer

My oldest will be four in June and is still rear facing. He’ll stay that way until six unless he hits a crazy growth spurt. Youngest is obviously still rear facing as well.

Answer

Check local laws for age or height/weight requirements. It is recommended for a child to remain rear facing as long as possible typically until they max out the height and weight requirements for rear facing in their seat.

Answer

Reposting this because I realized it is blurry in my original comment

Also some screen shots of crash test videos that show the drastic difference between forward facing and rear facing

Just some food for thought for OP and anyone thinking about turning their child forward facing sooner than they have to.

Answer

By LAW it’s 2 years

Answer

My son rear faced until her was 5.5 years old. I would never consider turning a child until they were at least four.

Answer

I’ll be keeping my son RF till he’s maxed out the weight for it. And I ALWAYS keep him in the middle. It’s the safest place in the car
